Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relationship among nutritional reserves, previtellogenic ovary development and juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis in Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes. By raising larvae under different nutritional regimes, two adult phenotypes (large and small females) were generated, which differed significantly in size at eclosion (measured by wing length). We measured the total amount of protein, lipids and...
